Chop Ahead! Time saving tips for the home chef
Chop ahead is a great tip from a busy person that loves to cook!
If you love cooking like me, may be you also don’t like that much all the chopping and all the cleaning involved on all the recipes. That is why you should chop ahead your vegetables and save time next time you want to make your favorite recipe.
How many times have you been thinking about that amazing recipe you found online and then desist to make it because to clean and chop so many vegetables? And what about if they are not that many but you have to do it everyday?
I have tried different ways to prep my vegetables in advanced but the way that works best for me if to freeze them already clean and chopped in frezzer bags. This is the list of my freezer repertoire:
- Onions
- Green Onions
- Celery
- Leeks
- Parsley
- Cilantro
- Mini sweet pepper
- Regular peppers
- Carrots
- Green leaves (spinach, kale, arugula)
I know you can buy the majority of vegetables and herbs already chopped on the freezer isle of your supermarket. That will save you time but will not save you money.
